Don't think I ever had a build thread on here, so I will start a new one for the recommissioning of my mini..

It's sat in my parents garage since September 2012, (just after castle Combe) and as you can see my dad has made a good attempt of hiding it lol..

Plan is to do a few improvements on it, and use it for what it's built for...

Well I managed to get a pair of cobra Imolas of eBay.. They are a bit tatty but they were cheep!

Only problem is I tried a car with these seats in a few years ago, however I have put on a little bit of weight since then so my fat arse won't fit in them! Lol

Got home from work early today so I chucked the new 075 battery on, cranked it until I got oil pressure, then chucked the plugs in and it fired up!

I'm going to Bingley for a few items hoping to get a works style dash new tyres and what ever takes my fancy..

If you can't lose the weight and are forced to sell the seats, I'm skinny enough to fit in these

After assessing the rust on the sills I have now decided to clear a few weeks in work and do a semi resto...

Pictures to follow in a few weeks when the angle grinder is out..
